Subject: [Leica] Would M9 work well with these lenses?

Have M6, unused for several years due to digital, etc.

I don?t really want to invest in expensive recent Leica glass.  But I would 
like to buy used M9 to use with my existing Leica lenses.  How well would M9 
work with each of the following lenses?

50mm f2 DR Summicron (I know ?eyes? not compatible)

35mm f2 Summicron (early 8-element one)

90mmg f 2.8 Tele-Elmarit (?fat? one, works well despite 90 TE?s reputation 
for haze)

21mm f 2.8mm Asph Elmarit (uncoded)

19mm f3.5mm Canon Rangefinder screwmount with M adapter

Thanks in advance for any advice.
